Thursday Division 1
The Thirtysomethings and The Ex Pats 3-3 draw was an enthralling contest. The Ex Pats looked like they would take the spoils when two goals by Bill Henry gave them an early lead. However, The Thirtysomethings were the better team in the second half and earned a draw when Luca and Jake McAuliffe scored two late goals.
It looked like Pity The Fool had scraped home in a humdinger against United when Garry Leahy gave them the lead with just a few minutes to go. Their joy was short lived when Cian O Malley equalised with the last kick. Paul Terry scored three for Pity.
The Bandits finally got their campaign off of the ground when they defeated The All Blacks 3-0. The high light of this encounter was the great team goal finished by Shane Comerford for the winners.

Thursday Division 2

Sean Kenny was outstanding between the sticks for Apple against The Net Busters. If it wasn’t for his string of top class saves The Busters would have won by more than 3-1.

Wednesday Division 1

He played the second half up front and scored a hat rick. Eric Montgomery scored 4 goals for the Joe’s and did not deserve to be on the losing side.
